ICT Forum days out

[Joonya]

I was going to post this in the general nonsense section, but felt as it'll involve forum members, here was perhaps the best place initially. If a moderator wants to sticky it or move it, then cool...

Anyway, As you will all know, I help organise and participate in the annual Highland March at the end of every season.

I also enjoy walking at any time, but it has dawned on me (it's only taken the best part of 8 years) that walking alone to train for such events can be boring, despite the fantastic scenary of the local area to keep you going.

Whilst on a walk today, I was thinking about Gringo Peeg Outings - a pub-crawl-esque walk along the towpaths around the west midlands organised by my old man - and thought it would be a good idea to do a similar up here, involving forum personel.

The way it would work is simple... if myself or anyone else has a day off work and plans a nice walk somewhere, post it on the forum to inform people who may be interested. People can then make their own arrangements to get to the rendezvous and home again.

I must admit, I prefer long walks of 15+ miles, and on occasions stretch this to 25-30 miles, but if anyone fancies joinin me or has their own outing planned, post it.

Whoah. Fair play to ya.

(I walked up Arthur's Seat last week, and then along the top of Salisbury Crags. I thought I was cooking on gas, but maybe not :021: )

If it's a pint and a walk that you're after then your local is about half a mile away, just give us a shout on the way past. :021:

My next available day off for a walk is wednesday 16th june.

If people who may be interested could leave their names on this thread or send me a PM, I will look into a nice easy 8-10 mile day (possibly 12 :P ).

If there is no interest I will simply head out on a longer walk as is the norm. It would, however, be great to have some company, and I will also keep a record of peoples' individual miles like I do for Highland March, so that you know when you reach a certain milestone.
